Soma: Greek: the living body.
The body is more than an object to be observed, measured, and managed. This free event explores the felt and subjective, the LIVED body—as experienced from within.
SOMA is an interactive performance that considers the lived body as a site of sensation, meaning, and connection. Through physical touch, presence, and relational encounter, the evening examines the healing potential of receiving touch.
You're invited to create this shared space-- to be touched or held, to experience and witness. Interactive elements are entirely voluntary, clearly guided, and grounded in explicit consent and respect for personal boundaries. Choosing to observe is a valid form of participation.
SOMA draws from scientific research in
-performance art
